When using a floor heating system, it's important to choose the right materials for the flooring. Marble, ceramic tiles, or engineered wood are ideal choices. If you opt for wooden flooring, only composite wood should be used, as solid wood can expand and contract more easily when heated, leading to warping or cracking. Engineered wood has better thermal stability and lower moisture content, making it more resistant to deformation under heat. The thickness of the floor should be thin rather than thick, and the planks should be narrow instead of wide, which helps with even heat distribution and reduces the risk of warping. Additionally, the underlayer beneath the floor shouldn't be too thick, as this can hinder heat transfer and reduce efficiency.

It’s also crucial to select flooring that emits minimal harmful substances, such as formaldehyde. When heated, some materials can release more pollutants, which could negatively impact indoor air quality and your health. Avoid using large area rugs or carpets, as they can block heat from radiating properly. Similarly, furniture without legs should not be placed directly on the floor, as it can restrict airflow and reduce the overall heating effectiveness.

Avoid placing foam or plastic items on the floor, as these materials have poor thermal conductivity and can trap heat, potentially causing damage over time. It's important to gradually warm up the floor heating system—raising the temperature by about 1°C per hour is recommended. Before turning on the system, ensure the floor is clean and dry to prevent cracks or warping caused by rapid heating.

Take care not to drop heavy objects or sharp items onto the floor, as the heating pipes are only about 3-4 cm below the surface. Accidental damage can lead to costly repairs. The water temperature in the system should not exceed 60°C, as higher temperatures can cause discomfort and shorten the lifespan of the system. Many modern systems come with automatic temperature controls that limit the water temperature to around 55°C, automatically shutting off the system if it exceeds this threshold.

After installation, it’s advisable to conduct an environmental safety check, especially if you’re using composite flooring, which may emit formaldehyde. Heating can increase the rate of emission, so ensuring the floor meets environmental standards is essential. Avoid cheap, low-quality products that may seem cost-effective but can lead to long-term problems. Finally, always choose a reputable brand and professional installer. Floor heating is a complex system that requires proper design, installation, and maintenance. A poorly installed system can lead to inefficiency, high energy costs, and potential system failure over time.

Floating Ball Valve

Floating Ball Valve used to shut off or connect medium of pipeline, such as water, chemical solvent, acid, or natual gas etc. Floating ball vavle are generally suitable for small and low pressure systems, with the advantages of simple valve design, long service life etc, easy maintenance, blow-out proof stem, stable sealing performance. The valve size can be from 1/2" to 10" and the valve pressure is from 150 to 600, operated by a lever, pneumatic actuator or hydraulic actuator Flange connection with pipeline is common type for floating ball valve.
